A. Plan Your Youtube Video Content,
#1. Create Your Youtube Channel-
If you have an account with Google, you're in luck, because you already have a YouTube account!
Enter the same username and password you use to log into Gmail, Google+, etc.First things first, you’ll need to set up a free basic account, and click the upload link (upward facing arrow) at the upper right-hand side of the page.
After this, you’ll see a prompt to create a channel.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
#2. Get A Camera-
Any camera will work in the beginning, and you have tons of options. Webcams, cell phone cameras, or digital cameras are good choices. If you can afford it or want a higher quality image, consider buying something more sophisticated. Consumer-level video cameras can be found for under $300.
If you’re really serious, invest in an HD video camera or even a high-end DSLR. These cameras produce crisp, high-quality videos that will have viewers coming back for more.
Laptop, tablet, and desktop computers usually come with at least one free recording program installed. For Mac users, this is Quicktime. For Windows users, this is Windows Media Maker.
Now that you know what’s out there, it’s time to take your YouTube game to the next level. No matter what you decide to do, you’ll have competition. Put on your creative thinking cap, and try to think of an angle that can make your channel stand out. Consider the age group and interests of your target audience. Ask yourself if your channel name is unique. Think about what you’d like to see on YouTube, but have trouble finding.[4]
Make sure you can make multiple videos on your concept. A one-video channel isn't much of a channel.

#3. See What Is In Trending-
Outsmart your browser by opening a window in the Private or Incognito mode to see trending videos that aren’t based on your previous viewing habits. On the left-hand side of the page, click “Trending,” which is the second link. Videos listed under the headings “Trending” and “Shared and Liked” have the most views. Other ways of finding out what’s popular include:- Asking your friends what they’re watching. Friends can be a great resource, and they’ll be happy to help.
- Checking your social media account to see what’s trending.
- Search phrases like “popular YouTube videos” using search engines like Google or Bing to see what pops up.
#4. Start Thinking Something Unique.
Make sure you can make multiple videos on your concept. A one-video channel isn't much of a channel.
#5. Take Other Youtubers help.
Find YouTube stars whose channels are similar to yours, and ask them if they’d like to collaborate with you on a few videos. This can be pretty intimidating, but putting yourself out there is important to building your channel. You can do it! Tell them you really like their content, and that you’d like to work with them on a project. Pitch whatever ideas you have. You can send a private message like this:- Click the username of the channel owner, which you can find below the title of the video.
- When you get to the channel page, click the “About” tab.
- At the upper right, click the “Send Message" button.
- Type your message, and click “Send.” Now, cross your fingers and wait for their response.
B. Optimize our channel,
#1. Eveready To Capture-
Your smartphone or video camera should be your trusty companion--take it everywhere. Maybe you’ll get lucky and catch something hilarious that could eventually go viral. Maybe you’ll catch something more serious and help to bring justice to an innocent person. If the footage won’t work for your current project, save the file for later.
On the other hand, if you decide to upload multiple videos at once, uncheck the notification box. Uploading 20 videos in one day will flood your poor subscribers’ inboxes with 20 emails.
Use this opportunity for a little viewer engagement! Ask them to let you know if they see any errors.
#2. See Other YouTubers Editing Video-
Good editing can take a channel to the next level. Pay attention to different camera angles, close-ups, and scene transitions. If your video focuses on your face for several minutes, mix it up with a few angle changes (from frontal to three-quarter, for example). If you’re doing a demonstration, get a nice close-up of the project you’re working on. Listen for background music or white noise in the soundtrack. Don’t stress about copying other YouTubers' editing styles exactly. Instead, they should give you an idea of where to put certain elements.#3. Notify Subscribers(Set Notification)-
To keep your viewers updated on all the new and exciting content you’re producing, check your notification settings while you’re waiting for your video to upload. Set your channel to notify subscribers when you add new content. Click “Advanced Settings,” and scroll down to “Distribution Options.” The option “Notify Subscribers” should be checked automatically. If it’s not, check it! This way, everyone who subscribes to your channel will receive an email when you upload new content.On the other hand, if you decide to upload multiple videos at once, uncheck the notification box. Uploading 20 videos in one day will flood your poor subscribers’ inboxes with 20 emails.
#4. Set Good Caption And Give Detailed Description-
After you upload your video, you’ll have the chance to set and edit automatic captions. Take it. You can be the clearest speaker in the world, and automatic captions will still contain tons of mistakes. This is unfair to your deaf and hearing-impaired viewers. Take the time to read and correct the captions after you upload your video.Use this opportunity for a little viewer engagement! Ask them to let you know if they see any errors.
#5 Interact New Audience With Comments-
If you’re already replying to comments on your YouTube videos, you’re one step ahead of the game. Still, you’ll need to do more. Take the conversation to social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Use specific hashtags on live chats to make it easier for your fans to find the discussion. Interacting show your audience your care, plus all that social media activity can draw new viewers to your channel.C. Grow Your Audience.
#1. Don't Think Instant Success-
#2. Social Media Sharing And Email-
Below every video on YouTube is an arrow with the word “Share” next to it. This button should become your new best friend. Click it, and choose the icon of which website you’d like to post to. A pop-up window with a summary of your video will open. You can either edit the summary or leave it as it is. Just don’t alter the link! Websites like Twitter and Facebook will play the videos without having to open a new window or tab.Contact all your friends and family members in your address book. Try something simple like, “Hey, everybody! Check out this video I posted to YouTube. Let me know what you think.” Chances are, they’ll forward the link to even more potential viewers.
